Besides  the  Museum  copy  of  this  play,  from  which  this 
facsim^ile  is  reproduced,  there  is  another  example  in  the  Dyce 
collection  at  South   Kensington. 

Another  edition,  ^^ printed  for  Hugh  Perry, ''^  was  issued 
in  1636.  Of  this  impression  some  copies  are  found  without  the 
date,   that   being   the   only   variation. 

Mr.  J.  A.  Herbert,  of  the  Manuscripts  Department  of  the 
British  Museum,  after  comparing  this  facsimile  with  the  original 
copy,  reports    that   "  it  is   a  practically  faultless  reproduction.^^
